If you are wounded, lost, lonely, sad, searching for fulfillment, looking for peace, poor, homeless, orphaned, rejected, sick in body, mind or spirit; THERE IS ONE WHO CAN PROVIDE ALL THAT YOU ARE SEEKING/NEEDING. You will NEVER FIND lasting peace or true love in anything or anyone on this Earth or in any other dimension. ONLY the TRUE and LIVING GOD can provide those things. If you want to be part of something bigger than yourself to give you purpose; IF you want to be part of bringing PEACE to the Earth; If you are looking for FAMILY; TURN TO GOD an BE SAVED! In HIM, you will find all the answers that your are seeking and SO MUCH MORE.
If you reject the WORD of GOD and Seek to find your own way or any other way than through HIM, you will lose everything. You may gain temporary reward, but you will ultimately be damned. God will not accept any path but HIS.
Jesus/Yeshua said “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME!”
We are living in the time of the GREAT DECEPTION, and there are so many scoundrels via for your attention and seeking your soul. Demonic Forces are feverishly at work to steal you from GOD. DO NOT BE DECEIVED! Be lead by the Spirit of GOD. Be Protected by the BLOOD of the LAMB. Let the PEACE OF GOD which PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING be upon you and in you.
TODAY WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AGAIN AT FLORIDA. To give you perspective on why there is so much happening there that is mysterious, unsettling and ALIEN! There are many people involved in OCCULT/PAGAN/WITCHCRAFT in Florida. Of course, that is true in many states, but today our focus is on FLORIDA, to be specific SARASOTA, Florida. SPACER
UPDATE: 1/10/24 Here is a very interesting story. You may have heard about it, but I just learned of it this morning. It seemed that God wanted me to share it so I began my spirit lead research. Apparently, there has been a grand effort to suppress all the testimony and evidence of this incident. … Click Here to Read More
Ok, folks. This Bayside Mall and all the other strange things happening in Miami is important. There is a reason, ya’ll, that this is being covered up. If you can see that there is a cover up, you don’t want to. Police have stated they are not “allowed” to talk about it, eye witness videos … Click Here to Read More
SARASOTA Sarasota, about an hour south of Tampa, is a beautiful city on the southwestern shores of Florida’s Gulf of Mexico. It’s home to Siesta Key, a pristine, powdery, white-quartz crystal beachvoted number one of the “Top-10 Best Beaches of the World.” Visitors or spiritual seekers know from the moment they arrive in Sarasota that it’s a different place. Many who came to visit went home, sold their homes, quit their jobs and returned here to live.Besides the beaches, the old Spanish architecture, the Ringling Art Museum, the universities, the five-star restaurants and shops, St. Armand’s Circle, and the art community calls to visitors. Alas, those attractions and “Best of” notices swelled the population and increased vertical residential density that changed the skyline of the city. The increases caused severe infrastructure, housing, and environmental impacts on the once quiet town. Known as a spiritual destination, there were many Yoga studios, spiritual centers, and meditation groups in the area. Unfortunately COVID took a toll and many of these centers and groups disbanded or closed permanently. And yet, there’s a Spiritual History in Sarasota that should be remembered. It’s told in the following segments.
Crystal of Peace Mandala – Jo Mooy Copyright
BACKGROUND – VISION – HISTORY In early December 2007 Jo Mooy had a series of dreams that gave rise to the Prism of LIght in Sarasota Florida. In the dream, Sarasota was identified “as one of 22 future Cities of Light.” In subsequent dreams that month, I was shown a “map” which I recognized as SW Florida.Points were highlighted on the map.Each time a point was identified I circled the area on the map.I was told to “connect the points”and realized a “diamond crystal with facets” was emerging.A voice in the dream said,“This is not a crystal. It is a Prism.A crystal absorbs light. A Prism reflects it.”The dreams continued to evolve nightly and in daily meditation more was revealed. I drew the connecting dots creating the Prism Diagram over a map of SW Florida (see below) then waited to determine what to do with it. One day in meditation the message was clear –“Gather 9 people to anchor the 9 points of the Prism at 12:00 noon on the Summer Solstice, June 20, 2008.”Jo identified 9 anchors in the community who led spiritual groups or who were leaders of spiritual centers. ( November 4, 2008, Obama was elected President) Each responded immediately as though they too intuitively knew this was a momentous event. Each said they too had feelings that “Sarasota was a City of Light.” On June 20, 2008 between 12 noon and 12:24 pm (date and time directed by the dreams) gatherings were held across 65 square miles stretching from Anna Maria Island in the North to Warm Mineral Springs in the South and Myakka State Park in the East to the Vortex between South Lido Beach and Siesta Key Beach. Over 350 people joined across this expanse to set an ethereal Prism of Light over Sarasota. The Center of the Prism was a portal anchored by David Less and his group at Rising Tide Spiritual Center.The work with the Prism continued through the Fall Equinox 2008 when Peace Poles were purchased by community donations, marking the points on the Prism of Light and the Spiritual Centers participating.Those Peace Poles were re-dedicated in 2014. (see below) The photo above is the Crystal of Peace Mandalathat was created to identify the Prism, the participants, and the work done on the Prism of Light.Each color was meticulously painted in a sacred ritual by one of the Anchors.Then the Mandala was opened to the community participants who placed their prayers for Peace in the Mandala.It was blessed and imbued with spiritual markings by Singhe, a Tibetan Monk who served as Mandala maker for His Holiness the Dalai Lama.The Crystal of Peace Mandala is now available to be shown at public or spiritual events or ceremonies.More detailed information on the Prism of Light can be obtained by contacting Jo Mooy who along with Patricia Cockerill, were the Visionaries behind the Prism of Light.
THE NUMEROLOGY OF SARASOTA From a numerology point of view, the beach, the city and the state all resonate at a high Master Vibrational frequency.The Master Vibration numbers have the potential for influence on the world stage.Florida is a Master Number 11 reflecting “brotherly love on a grand scale.” Sarasota is a Master Number 22reflecting the “ability to manifest easily as the master builder, ambassador and diplomat.” Siesta Key is a Master Number 33, reflecting the “spiritual teacher of higher consciousness, connecting with the Oversoul.”

THE CALLING Many saw the city as a future ‘crystal city of light’ that was waiting to be birthed. Two residents wrote poems dated 1993 and 2007 in which they described a “future city of light on the bay.” Their words and visualizations were complimented in books like The Keys of Enoch, Secrets of Amenti, and Calling Humanity which described Sarasota as a “sacred city of the new earth” or a “portal or stargate” city.

PRISM OF LIGHT VISION
THE MAP The Vision presented itself as an ethereal diamond-shaped Prism of Light over a map of southwestern Florida. The Prism outline stretched 65 miles from Holmes Beach in the North to Warm Mineral Springs in the South and 22 miles from Siesta Key Beach in the West to Myakka State Park in the East. The internal lines of the Prism aligned with different spiritual centers and temples which existed along a north-south axis.Each of the four points in the diamond (North, South, East and West) were determined to be locations of sacred sites that were important to the native people who lived on the land centuries ago. Within hours of releasing the map of the Prism of Light, those who heard about it in the spiritual community stepped forward to anchor or be part of the Prism. In an effortless process, friends, light-workers, and spiritual leaders declared themselves ready to participate in shaping this sacred Vision on the Summer Solstice, 2008.
Across the miles, 222 people gathered at the four points of the diamond and all along the facets of the Prism at noon on June 20, 2008. Men, women and children gathered on beaches, in forests, in gardens and at seven spiritual centers. They held the consciousness that each of us was a Prism within the greater Prism. With bells, rattles, drums, and chants, they proclaimed that each person present was a reflection of the light and love of the work each was called to do. They professed their intentions to seed the future City of Light in Sarasota where healing, teaching, alternative medicine, art, music, and writing would be guided and infused by spirit. 10th Anniversary Video Story of Prism of Light
Jerusalem Old City
THE NEW JERUSALEM Later that evening, under a Full Moon at Unity of Sarasota’s Labyrinth, 350 men, women and children, gathered to unite in sacred ceremony. The multigenerational group in Sarasota united in fellowship with a group known as the Abrahamic Reunionholding a similar gathering that night in Jerusalem. The collective intention of the two groups was that a portal would be opened and anchored over the troubled city of Old Jerusalem while seeding a New Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem, one of the 22 Future Cities of Light, would be filled with hope, love, peace, and acceptance for all peoples. In sacred ceremonies at the Labyrinth, an Incan Despacho (thanksgiving prayer bundle) was offered to Mother Earth. In meditation, the group sounded rounds of OM which opened the Stargate of the Prism of Light,calling forth the 1000 years of peace,harmony and unity on earth promised by all the sacred teachings. And so it was!
PEACE POLES DEDICATED 2008 – RE-DEDICATED 2014 To commemorate the event – Peace Poles were installed at several points on the Prism of Light. The locations are: Rising Tide International, Unity of Sarasota, Sarasota Center of Light, Radiance of Sarasota and Warm Mineral Springs. An article in the Sarasota Herald Tribune covered the four Peace Poles that were installed at Unity of Sarasota, marking the four directions of the Labyrinth. They were donated by: Gerry Grieg, Sioux Warling, Patricia Cockerill and Jo Mooy. Click this link to see the article: Unity of Sarasota Peace Poles Dedication.

CROP CIRCLE CONFIRMATION – June 2008 The spiritual community of Sarasota, along with the next two generations of children, seeded the Crystal City of Light on the Summer Solstice of 2008. As we reflected on what we did, little did we know that just over a week later the Prism of Light would be validated by a Crop Circle which appeared in the wheat fields of Wiltshire, UK on June 30th. The circle mimicked the map design of the Prism of Light. The Crop Circle was a diamond-shaped Prism with facets and there in the center was the circular portal opening. Steve Alexander Crop Circle photographer and author of Crop Circles: Signs Wonders & Mysteries, in correspondence with Jo Mooy on July 6, 2008 confirmed the diagram of the circle matched that of the Prism of Light. Steve wrote in an email to Jo “No staggering news on this. Most people feel it is like a diamond … perhaps you all instigated the appearance of this formation.”
Shahabuddin David Less
A SHIFT IN CONSCIOUSNESS David Less, the spiritual director of Rising Tide Spiritual Center anchored the circle in the center of the Prism of Light. He remarked that “The building of the third Temple”referred to in Judeo-Christian scriptures is the most important. It is not physical. It is not real estate. It is not owned by governments. The Third temple will be built by each one of us through the consciousness of love. We will put in whatever we can and the energy will coalesce from the human heart. There will be a profound change for we are at the point of a great shift in consciousness. We are beings who have great power. We are the ones who will love, regardless of what we see. We do good because we can. This is our potential and this is the us we are becoming.”
As a founding member of the Abrahamic Reunion in Jerusalem, he orchestrated the Jerusalem gathering to coincide with the Prism of Light conducted in Sarasota the same night. The Abrahamic Reunion is a team of spiritual and religious leaders, men and women, Druze, Christian, Jews, Muslims, Palestinians, Bedouins, dedicated to building peace in the Holy Land and raising human consciousness.
HEART-SHAPED BUBBLE OF PROTECTION – Hurricane Irma – Sept. 2017 Climatologists have said that the southwestern portion of Florida, stretching from Tampa Bay to the Everglades is in a protected field called, ‘the forbidden zone.’ Meteorologists and scientists say the shape of the coastline of this area of Florida, the ocean bottom configuration, and the prevailing winds tend to create up-welling currents that take water away from the coastline.Some scientists have also said the Tampa Bay area is in a “bubble of protection.” Based on a scientific study of 194 probes planted in the Gulf, the scientific reports indicate that this area was at “minimal risk of receiving surface oil.” from the 2010 BP oil spill. Spiritual leaders in the community KNOW the area is in a “bubble of protection.” When Hurricane Irma was on course to hit SW Florida in September 2017, the spiritual community held strong protective prayers for the area. The catastrophic storm veered east around the bubble of protection, leaving behind a heart shaped opening captured on film by weather newscasters. The photo on the left is the Heart-Shaped protection imagined by thousands in the spiritual community as Irma was heading for the area.

Sarasota is a city located in Sarasota County on the southwestern coast of the U.S. state of Florida. The area is renowned for its cultural and environmental amenities, beaches, resorts, connections to the Ringling family, and its ‘school’ of architecture. It is south of the Tampa Bay Area and north of Fort Myers. Its current official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Source: wikipedia
“Sarasota – Florida’s transformative atmosphere is embraced by a circular flow of spiritual energy. The power of this vortex saturates all of Sarasota, and can be noticed in subtle ways anywhere around town. Adding to this already tremendous force is the 40 acre white sandy beach of Siesta Key made up of powdered quartz sand. Actually, a study byHarvard University’s geology department found that the sand was 99 percent pure quartz crystal. This is truly important as Quartz is a power mineral.It has an energetic to ability to amplify subtle energies.“ – Sarasota – Florida’s Spiritual Mecca – Vortex Sarasota
Among Sarasota’s holistic community, Siesta Beach has an impressive reputation… The credit goes to the qualities of the beach’s sand. The legend is that the presence offshore of quartz crystals may be derived from the ancient mythical city of Atlantis. Some healers point to a decades-old, well-canopied tree, surrounded by heavy grass growth and growing about 60 feet from the coast, as an indication of the beach’s metaphysical vitality. Others talk of a mysterious protection from hurricanes that they credit to either Indian blessings or a vortex of energy they say exists near the rumored Atlantis crystal location.
Whatever the reasons, Siesta Beach is growing in the reverence it receives among people who consider themselves “energy healers” or shamans, and its reputation for healing power stretches even to Peru.
The belief in Siesta Beach’s concentration of energy has at least some scientific roots that can be documented, and it has to do with Siesta’s sand. Whiter than the sand at any other beach in the area, Siesta’s sand is also known for its relative coolness even on the hottest of days. Those qualities are derived from the content of sand, which is indeed unique from any other beach in the world Siesta sand is 99.9 percent quartz. This makes the sand appear very white. And because of the way the crystals have been worn down, the sand is exceptionally soft. You also won’t find much particulate shell matter.
Siesta’s sand originated thousands of years ago from the Appalachian area. That fact is significant to energy healers because of their deep belief that quartz is itself a healing material, especially quartz derived from the area near Hot Springs, Ark.Quartz crystal is a natural conductor of energy, Many healers frequently choose Siesta Beach as the site for meditation events because of the energy they feel is concentrated there. Quartz is one of the highest vibratory minerals of the earth. And we are mineral-based; we’re made up of the same elements the earth is made of, so you could take somebody who knows nothing about quartz or crystals or elements, have them lie down on the quartz crystal sand of Siesta Beach on a beautiful day and the elements in their body the molecular structure in their body will resonate with the quartz in that sand. As for our yoga classes, which are held directly on the sand, it can be absolutely transformational. I believe the legends may have real validity because in my many years of teaching Yoga on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, including the beaches of Hawaii, I have not found a beach that inspires so much healing, love and inner peace as I found here on Siesta Key beach.
Here we will examine the extraordinary properties of quartz crystal.
Quartz crystals have been revered throughout the ages as symbols of beauty, health and often power.The latter is sometimes referred to as key to the rise and fall of the mythical civilization of Atlantis. More recently quartz crystals have been associated within New Age circles and applications to holistic health, meditation and personal growth.
Let us first explore the science behind the mystique of quartz crystals. There are many types of natural quartz crystals. The most common ones are amethyst, citrine, rose, smoky and clear. Natural quartz is composed of silicon dioxide molecules. Quartz consisting solely of silicon dioxide is known as clear quartz which is the type of crystal sand at Siesta Key beach. The other members of the quartz family are variations. In addition to the fundamental silicon dioxide structure, they also have chemical impurities that were present when the crystal formed. For example amethyst has impurities of manganese oxides, which gives it the typical purple color.
A natural crystal by definition means it has a very regular arrangement of atoms, quartz crystal looks like a matrix of very beautiful lattes structures under the microscope.When electricity is put into a quartz crystal their atoms vibrate at a very stable frequency.These characteristics make quartz an excellent receptor and emitter of electromagnetic waves.This is why quartz is commonly used in radios, watches, and numerous electronic technologies. One interesting characteristic of quartz crystal can be observed when electricity is applied to it. The quartz will begin to vibrate which in turn causes the quartz to produce its own weak electric current. This is taken advantage of in the workings of a typical quartz watch. Quartz crystal also exhibit the piezoelectric effect which is understood as the linear electromechanical interaction as when pressure is applied along across a quartz crystalit will produce its own electric charge.
The humble quartz crystal is a major element in today’s technological revolution. The conversion of quartz crystals into silicon chips has transformed the world.Quartz has made the digital age possible.It has given us computers, mobile phones and communication breakthroughs.Vast pieces of information to be brought together in a precisely organized way with the silicon chips of a computer.
One of the early pioneers of silicon chip technology was Nobel prize-winning scientist Marcel Vogel. He made a discovery while working as a research scientist for IBM that shook to the core the belief systems of his scientific peers. Vogel discovered that not only can crystals be programmed as silicon chips in a computer, but they also can be programmed with thought.A person sitting at a computer inputs his thoughts through a keyboard.This is stored in the computer’s silicon chips via the medium of electricity.Vogel reasoned that like electricity, thought is a form of energy, which is given direction by our intention. He concluded that crystals could also be programmed without the need for electricity, by using just thoughts or clear intention.Vogel designed a multitude of experiments to validate his quantum theories.Like all groundbreaking alternative scientists, the mainstream scientific community ostracized him.
Armed with the concepts of quantum physics, the group at N and N Associates Inc. has recently completed work to take the science of quartz crystals to a new level and demonstrate the efficacy and validity of using quartz crystals to promote holistic health. The group has extensively researched key universal vibrational (energy) patterns.These patterns are considered to be the cornerstone of the matrix between the physical universe and the creative life force.
NOPE SORRY!! JESUS/Yehushua IS THE CORNERSTONE AND THE ONLY CONNECTION TO THE LIFE GIVER, WHICH IS OUR HEAVENLY FATHER YAHOVAH!
Quartz crystals could be the visible tip of the iceberg as seen in our material dimensionbut the invisible part could well be in other dimensional of reality.The quartz crystal could be our conduit into other quite valid dimensions of reality. They don’t realize they opening up portals to other dimensions that GOD had closed for our protection. Why would they open up something about which they have very limited to NO KNOWLEDGE or understanding?
In conclusion, we could summarize that quartz crystals are truly unique.There is no question that they can learn and reproduce simple, yet powerful patterns, as demonstrated by today’s digital technology.Recent work has also proven the validity of using quartz crystals to promote holistic health. While in some circumstances it might be argued that quartz crystals are magical,the power behind quartz crystals has been amply demonstrated using sound science.
So, science is telling us that rocks can think and learn? If we had said that, Scientists would have ridiculed us no end!
Now if you have ever wondered why we feel so transformed and revitalized after practicing our yoga on Siesta key beach, now you know, there is real energy in the sand beneath you.On Siesta Key beach the crystal sand beneath your feet is vibrating and amplifying your own energy and connecting the soul of the earth to your own soul.
No thank you. I don’t want anything or anyone communicating with my SOUL but the Holy Spirit of GOD! God is my HEALER, and my Healing was purchased by the by the BLOOD of Jesus/Ya Hushuah!
Whether you attend one of my yoga classes or just come to sit on the beach or take a walk be aware of the extraordinary healing energy of this place and let it transform you.
Classes held Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, at 9:00 am to 10:30 am

You probably want to view the following posts, if you have not already.
Siesta Beach’s reputation as one of the country’s top beaches has only grown since it was first recognized in 1988 for its white-sugar sand beaches. Just this year, it placed second on a Top 10 list of worldwide beaches compiled by Stephen P. Leatherman, aka Dr. Beach, a Florida International University professor.
Lourdes Ramirez, owner of the Isle of Avalon spa and former Siesta Key community activist, echoes Delgado’s feelings about the beach. “There are certain parts of our planet that have these healing energies. We feel that Siesta Key has that,” says Ramirez, who has studied alternative spirituality informally for about six years.“I think the general public won’t believe it and might be skeptical. But we know there is a correlation between how you feel on Siesta Beach, and the vortex and the sand.”
The healthy canopy-laden tree that seems to mysteriously grow where it shouldn’t is actually an invasive Australian pine, McCarthy says. “Part of the problem with Australian pines is they can thrive in that environment,” McCarthy says. “Australian pines create a sort of a windbreak, which slows the sand down, which allows other seeds to grow, which allows grass to come around.”
The notion that Indian blessings help protect Siesta from hurricanes appears to stem from “Texas” Jim Mitchell, says Nancy Connelly, a fourth-generation resident of Siesta Key. Mitchell, who ran a reptile farm in Sarasota from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s, had befriended Indians during his youth, and many of his Indian friends would travel to his Sarasota home when hurricanes threatened, Connelly remembers hearing as a child from her mother. “Newscasters would talk about that on TV,” Connelly recalls. “They had no idea of the Indians’ relationship with Texas Jim.”
Barnett points to studies that document faster healing among hospital patients who can view nature through windows in their hospital rooms. “As a doctor, I’m not going to tell people to go and sit on the sand to heal themselves,” Barnett says. “But there is a lot of history with crystals and healing, and my personal feeling is that we should honor and respect tradition. People really are drawn to the beach with the belief in the healing power of crystals.”
THE GOLDEN ETHERIC CITIES OF THE NEW EARTH
by Walking Terra Christa Academy of New Earth Mastery
Edgar Cayce (1877-1945), along with various psychics, prophets, channels and seers, foretold (and still foretell) of potential EARTH CHANGES that are directly related to the coming of a NEW AGE upon Mother Earth. A researcher of the information forecasted by these many sources will quickly find various scenarios and happenings spanning varying degrees of land mass alterations, changes and/or catastrophes, much of which is contradictory between sources.
The existence of such contradictions does not mean the information is false, nor does focusing on any one source mean it is true. The discrepancies exist for many reasons. The primary reason is we are a mass consciousness of humanity that has freedom of will.Little changes within our conscious energy field can have massive positive results, or alternatively, if we collectively are failing to make much change within ourselves, we are passively acknowledging that we are in acceptance of whatever needs to occur on the physical plane to force us to change.
Cayce himself had said we always have the power to avoid earth catastrophes of any level. In those days he referred to it as the power of prayer, of tapping into that connection to God.In our work, we refer to it as our core essenceas Divine Eternal Beings who ARE ONE with the GOD FORCEthrough the Journey of the Soul into Full Remembrance, which is the deepest form of prayer one can accomplish.
The NEW EARTH is indeed going to have GOLDEN ETHERIC CITIES OF LIGHT.These cities have been referred to 2000 years ago in Biblical terms as “the Land of Milk and Honey”, which was a reference to vast abundance of two items that were considered delicacies in those times.
Why do all these folks who hate God and the Bible always reference SCRIPTURE/THE WORD OF GOD?? How dare they take a direct promise from The Creator to His children and use it to promote their deceit?? Milk and Honey were not delicacies, they were part of the building blocks of health. They were readily and freely available.
In our modern days of 1989, the I AM AMERICA organization foresaw 5 of these cities within North America. Well known channel Ronna Herman who works with Archangel Michael’s messages said in 2010 that “You [humanity] have opened the pathways to the Cities of Light so that you can gradually incorporate higher and more refined frequencies of Light.”
Messages channeled from interdimensional beings through New Agers who are in an altered state of consciouness should NEVER be considered TRUSTWORTHY or VALID.
Another popular channel Michael Quinsey has said: “The Cities of Light of which you are now becoming aware, will give you a sample of what it is like in the higher dimensions. Yet they are more in the nature of Healing Centres specifically prepared to help you raise your consciousness levels. You will take the fast track to remove all the vestiges of your present dimension that have kept you within it.” (Sept. 2, 2011.) A year later he had this to add: “There will be ample facilities, including the Cities of Light, where you can be healed as you are to be fully restored to a prime condition. Eventually you will also be able to reverse the aging process and return to a youthful appearance, and so it will go on until you become a Galactic Being. All of these changes await you and they are not too far in the future. Think positively about them and you will be helping to manifest themmuch sooner than we have allowed for.” (Sept. 19, 2012).
WHAT A CROCK OF BALONEY!! LIES all LIES, appealing to the vanities of humanity.
As Quinsey noted, these Golden Etheric Cities are “healing centers for your consciousness”. Basically what the information is telling us is an emphasis on “consciousness”. Many people simply hear such words and take away the “healing” part and do not consider what the “consciousness” part means, instead feeling it will be something like a free healing clinic. This is not correct.
Louise L. Hay has written and spoken for many years on the topic of dis-ease in the body being directly related to our state of being stating, “I wish the children could be taught early on that our thinking creates our experience.” This is the higher dimensional pathway for healing, and is what Quinsey meant. The Etheric Golden Cities will be centers for learning how to heal all parts of ourselves, not just the physical.
We accomplish this by doing the inner work of self-awarenessin our ‘consciousness’ to remove elements within us that have, over eons of time, kept our existence in states of dis-ease or dis-harmony. In short, it is purely about doing inner work just as all the great spiritual Masters have been telling us for those same eons of time.
What form does that INNER WORK take to create this healing? In our Academy teachings, we have spent the last four years tapping directly into exactly what the NEW AGE of the NEW EARTHis all about so that you don’t need to sort through the varied sources out there and patch together an understanding. We have done that for you. We actually visit these cities in our conscious awareness so that we can receive the healing we need. As AA Michael, in speaking about the New Earth, has stated through channel Linda Dillon, “That is a very concrete reality and there are many of you out there who are very conscientiously building and working daily with the Cities of Light.Do not think this is simply a pipe dream, it is not and you are seeing the fruits of this.” (Sept. 8, 2012).
Because of the importance of this work, we are releasing a pre-release set of audio teachings from our conscious meditative journey visits to the GOLDEN ETHERIC NEW EARTH CITIES. What occurs in these teachings is rather profound. We are given a vision of what the CITIES look like currently (as they are also in a process of being built and expanded). We then hear from a Being that has a major stakein having the upper earth citizens raise their consciousness (Lord Adama of Telos, capitol city High Priest of the Inner Earth Agartha Network of Cities), so that the Inner Earth citizens can once again walk on the upper earth with their brother and sisters of GAIA.
Do you understand that?? They are talking about bringing the Giants/ the Nephilim out from within the Earth where GOD has/had them bound!! Separated from us for our Protection!!
Next the Spiritual Masters and Light Beings, such as AA Michael, instruct us regarding how we can learn to assist ourselves within these cities. Finally, in each teaching journey throughout the transmission, we always receive the higher frequencies that have our Light Bodies learn to shift and accept higher dimensional energies within our full body system(of the physical, emotional, mental and etheric bodies) so that it is not just about an informational teaching.
Now they are talking about the FALLEN ANGELS connecting with us and shifting our bodies in their dimensional energies. Ya, by putting us in the WEB/MATRIX.
Originally the information received by the I AM AMERICA* organization related five (5) cities, their approximate etheric location above the surface of the earth, and the qualities that city would assist us in achieving. They stated the Five Golden City Vortices of The United States are: 1.) Gobean: Arizona and New Mexico; Qualities: Transformation, Harmony, and Peace. 2.) Malton: Illinois and Indiana; Qualities: Fruition (fructification), Attainment 3.) Wahanee: Georgia and South Carolina; Qualities: Justice, Liberty, and Freedom 4.) Shalahah: Montana and Idaho; Qualities: Abundance, Prosperity, Healing. And 5.) Klehma: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska; Qualities: Continuity, Balance, and Harmony.
We now know that there are 22 GOLDEN ETHERIC CITIESthat have many more qualities than first understood. These Cities of Light in fact each relate specifically to the 22 RAYS OF GOD, as each city is organized to bring forth the entirety of healing from a specific Ray (or Flame). Light, as we know, is a vibrational frequency,and each of the 22 Rays is given from the God Force to assist us in balancing and elevating our full consciousness in specific areas of our existence, in short: raising our frequency. REMEMBER that when they refer to God, they are not talking about the Creator of the Universe.
“ . . . From the Etheric City that I AM presently serving in with certain Members of the Great White Brotherhood, We are releasing specialized Rays of Comfort, Peace and Healing for the wounds of this dear planet and her evolutions. It is such a Joyous Experience to be able to see, as the result of your Decrees, the instantaneous Manifestations of Perfection brought about by the Light Rays We send forth to do your and Our bidding, knowing that that Light of God cannot fail! “ – 1959; Godfrey Ray King/Guy Ballard (author of the I AM DISCOURSES) through messenger Mark Prophet.
We have also learned that the names of the Cities are also more complex than first thought. For example Gobean, the earthly term for the first city, is known spiritually as Goloneiah. It is the City of the Blue Ray and is not just overlighted by AA Michael, but his counterpart, AA Faith; as well as the Elohim Masters Hercules and Amazonia. Most importantly one of the main teachers of this city is Ascended Master El Morya, the current Ray Chohan of the Blue Flame. His role is to assist us to fully understand the WILL TO DO which is the main quality of the Blue Ray that is required in order to bring about changes within us.
This two part seminar occuring over one day will cover the nuts and bolts of contacting interdimensional beings.What exactly does an interdimensional being mean? How does one differentiate among ascended masters, angelic beings, extraterrestrial beings, devas, nature spirits, etc? The purpose of the lecture portion of the day, which will go from 1 to 5p, is to discuss how universal consciousness, group coherence and intention are the keys to bringing in these various classes of angelic, ultraterrestrial, and enlightened beingsto help further the evolution of the planet and humanity.
Gene Ang, Ph.D. has been organizing a monthly group contact meeting for the past year in Glastonbury, CTand the surrounding areas to help bring in these interdimensional contacts to help bless the earth. Further, he has spent both a week in Joshua Tree, CA and Mount Shasta, CA with Dr. Steven Greer, director of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) learning, practicing, and establishing contact. Below are a few pictures taken from recent contact meetings conducted in CT.
The program being held on Saturday, Sept. 12 in Sarasota, FL will include a series of lectures and discussions held in the afternoon from 1 to 5p that will discuss the meditative techniques involved in setting the proper intent for contact meditations and the protocols involved in vectoring in various light craft through remote viewing. There will be ample time for questions. The experiential portion will occur from 8pm onwards on Siesta Beach. Here, participants will be allowed to directly participate and experience contact. The intent for the experiential portion at Siesta Beach will not only be to experience these contact events but also to create a supervortex to bring in healing energiesfor the area.
Creation of a Supervortex: it is widely held that Siesta Key Beach is the coastal tip of a crystalline vortexextending many miles out into the Gulf of Mexico. The remarkably fine white powder sand of Siesta Beach is actually composed of billions of tiny quartz crystal molecules which holds an energy that attracts many souls to Sarasota for healing and transformation. It has also been found that crystals are (a) energy condensers, (b) energy projectors, (c) energy transformers, and (d) programmable.
We are going to program the entire beach to function as an intention-charged supervortexto provide greater healing for the planet and for all who venture into the area. Ancient Tibetan healing sites began in this way when a naturally occurring power spot in the Himalayas was blessed and vibrationally enriched by the prayers and chanting of spiritual masters. Our hope is to inaugurate a Shangri-La in Sarasota.
As we will discuss during that afternoon, contact does not only include a direct sighting of some type of ET craft or light craftbut also internal experiences such as telepathic thought transference, sounds, electrical phenomenon, sleepiness, giddiness, and elation. Also, one’s energy body can be changed during such contact experiences to allow further openings (gateways/portala) in consciousness. Furthermore, there is a misconception perpetuated by the popular media that ET craft will be some type of metal nuts and bolts type of spaceship.This is one of the myths that will be discussed during the workshop.
In Sarasota, there is a community surrounding a litany of roadside psychicsand more than 100 mediums and spiritual guides. Why?
By Michael Adno June 30, 2018
SARASOTA, Fla. — On a recent Sunday, Phyllis Town, 66, and more than 40 congregants rotated in and out of Sunday service at the Sarasota Center of Light,founded 68 years agoas a nondenominational churchthat wed Christianity and metaphysical spirituality, and where all ministers are mediums, to receive their own individual “vibrational healings.” With Ms. Town seated, Rev. Jim Toole, 60, took a breath, closed his eyes and positioned his hands just above the top of her head. For about 10 minutes, Reverend Toole moved his hands around Ms. Town’s upper torso and head mere inches from her face, careful not to touch her. As she sat silently, carefully breathing, he explained that he was channeling energy. When Reverend Toole was finished, he softly whispered in Ms. Town’s ear as a grin stretched across her face.
“I come here because it’s the only time I get touched,” a woman told Ms. Town during one session.
The sentiment of missing someone’s touch resonated with Ms. Town, whose husband “transitioned,” because “it never occurred to me that I was going through that as a widow.” Nearly six years ago, in the wake of his death, she devoted herself to the Center entirely.

Reverend Toole and Ms. Town are part of a dense spiritual constellation concentrated among two neighboring cities, Sarasota and Bradenton in Florida, that also encompasses the Spirit University, a litany of roadside psychics and more than 100 mediums and spiritual guides. Unlike other American spiritual outcrops like Lily Dale, N.Y., and Cassadaga, Fla., Sarasota wasn’t founded as a spiritual community. And its wealth of spiritualists isn’t billed as an attraction.
As Americans search for means to cope with loss, and even though interest has grown immensely in the past century, the stigma of fortunetelling fraud, psychic scams and skepticism still haunts the practice.
“I thought I was a witch,” said Ms. Town, who is an associate minister at the Sarasota Center of Light. “Spirits would come to me — dead relatives and things like that.” It took the community in Sarasota to bring her out of her shell. And like any community, Town’s story demonstrates the value of a room full of people on any given day, the kinship, the warmth, the sense of being less alone in the world.

As a native, I’ve heard stories about Sarasota’s energy grids, vortexes, a Calusa force fieldthat prevents hurricanes and the 99-percent quartz-crystal sand at Siesta Key.All of it helps draw the metaphysical community. “You don’t move to Sarasota; you’re called,” a man told me. When I was growing up, the string of roadside psychics along Route 41 was as omnipresent as the car dealerships and pawn shops with their neon signs burning late into the night. It is where many psychics live and work today. In retrospect, it seemed absurd not to be more aware of the deep spiritual community here straddling the line between the physical and metaphysical worlds, but throughout my childhood, it was unclear what was simply Southern lore or if Sarasota truly held spiritual significance,what was real and what many deemed a “scam.”
Nationally, Americans increasingly consider themselves “spiritual but not religious,” according to a Pew Research Center survey, a metric that spiked to 27 percent from 19 percent in the last five years. While American spiritualism is often depicted as rooted in Native American, Caribbean, Latin American or African cultures, spiritualists today span a vast racial spectrum, and Southwest Florida represents a mere sliver of the broader spiritual diaspora.
Among the earliest evidence of a metaphysical adviser in Sarasota was on January 18, 1912, in the Sarasota Times, when advertisements for a tropical tree nursery and farm seed flanked the first mention of a “Clairvoyant Palmist” by the name of Princess Gladys. The ad appeared once a week for a month then vanished. That same year, John and Mable Ringling of the Ringling Circus bought their home along Sarasota Bay and in 1927 would move the Circus’ headquarters to Sarasota. A slew of fortunetellers and palm readers followed.
In the 1930s, the word “psychic” was mentioned in Sarasota newspapers 116 times.By the 1970s, it appeared 1,555 times over that decade.
Catherine Rosenbaum followed her parents south when they retired from Philadelphia to Longboat Key in Sarasota. After a divorce in 2008, she turned to the stars, culling numerology, astrology and intuition to make a living as a reader, or as she would say, “a reflector.”
“The angels filled my books,” she said.
At 13, Ms. Rosenbaum would trace the constellations with her finger outside her home in Philadelphia. She took so strongly to the night sky that at 14, her mother would take her for weekly lessons with an astrologer after school. Ms. Rosenbaum, 64, has been a full-time medium for 10 years,but noted, “I was born like that.” She added: “I always felt what everybody else was feeling, but I never had a sense of myself.”

Now she does readings seven times a month at a shop called Elysian Fields in central Sarasota. While she often meets with private clients in person, much of her time is devoted to phone readings with people as far away as Taiwan.
As for the process, “it’s not something I can explain,” Ms. Rosenbaum said. She starts with someone’s name and birth date and uses numerology, astrology and symbol-based systems; then she enters her clients’ auric field (a descriptor for the layers of energy that surrounds the body and correspond to chakras as stated), allowing their energy to envelop her.“Everything has information in it,” she explained, noting the presence of their fears, traumas and desires. “There’s no hiding.”

Ms. Rosenbaum believes that most people are looking for peace in their lives — whether it’s the courage to take risks, pursue a dream or just fend for themselves.She and other mediums try to teach people to “stop living like other people.”
“I’m more evolved,” said Ondrej Zouhar, 37, a client. In 2017, he moved to Sarasota and began to see Ms. Rosenbaum regularly. He said he felt pressure to find fame and be perceived as wealthy, but with Ms. Rosenbaum as a guide, he felt like he could finally trust himself, and the external pressure fell away.
Ultimately, it comes down to listening — a prosaic pursuit with profound outcomes: “It’s a beautiful thing to watch people become themselves.”
Victoria Ackerman, 57, the founder of Spirit University, echoed Ms. Rosenbaum’s sentiment of becoming oneself. After abruptly coming off the drug Cymbalta, prescribed for the pain and depression associated with fibromyalgia, she found herself in an emergency room. “All of a sudden, everything stopped,” she remembers.
In what she calls her “near-death experience,” Ms. Ackerman made a promise to herself to recalibrate her life’s compass.
It began with a book, “Dream Healer” by Adam McLeod, a self-published memoir about a proposed connection between hard science and forms of healing that aren’t taken seriously by the western medical community.

After devouring it and others, she began practicing Reiki. With clients, she said, visions would come to her as if she were sitting in front of a movie screen. At first, she shrugged them off but as the visions returned, she began to poke around online about psychic development.
Piece by piece, she assembled a curriculum.
In 2011, Ms. Ackerman began holding classes in a vacant storefront in the Gulf Gate neighborhood — the soft opening of the Spirit University.Devoted to the teaching of mediumship, the school offers classes including Tarot and telepathy. According to Ms. Ackerman, more than 10,000 students have enrolled in classes according to records she keeps since the Spirit University was founded.
“I felt safe in that environment,” said Elodie Tarantino, 45, a practicing medium. She said the university provided a space where no one was ridiculed or felt abnormal.
Ms. Ackerman often encounters skeptics who suggest that mediums are nothing but roadside frauds. She said that the program’s key is its focus on providing evidence, details and validation — specific information like names of those who have died or details from their past — in order to gain a client’s trust. The sweet spot is for a medium to offer six pieces of evidence for a reading of three to six minutes, and 30 pieces for an hourlong private reading. “That’s my litmus test to whether I’m myself connected, andfor the client to know that you’re truly connected.”
Ms. Tarantino said of Ms. Ackerman’s ability: “She shows me she is connected.” She added that when it comes to communicating with those outside the physical world, “that connection needs to be proved.”

“I don’t go with the intent of proving life after death,” Ms. Ackerman explained. “I’m not here to do battle with anyone’s belief system.”
For her, sustained engagement with questions of love, death, mortality and identity imbue her life with meaning. “It teaches me to be much more understanding and empathetic to others, as well as myself.”
Ms. Ackerman notes that clients lean toward bigger questions like how to find peace or love. “How can I best improve my life?” is the main question. While manycome for personal or professional validation,the vast majority come for closure.
Barbara Leighton, 68, did. After her husband died, she looked for ways to keep the thread between them intact.“It’s just a connection I miss having with him,”she said. By using mediums like Ms. Ackerman as a conduit, “I feel like I’m having a conversation with him,” she adds.
Ms. Ackerman said she believes that most people cannot see energy or spirits because modern culture is saturated with scientific pragmatism. But for those willing to consider what lies beyond the physical perception of the world, “it’s there,” she says.

When Lucy Tobias first stepped foot into Saint Boniface Episcopal Church in 2016, she also discovered her first labyrinth, a spiral-shaped maze rooted in Greek mythology.Comprised of multiple paths all leading to the same center,labyrinths are often sacred spacesnestled into places of (pagan) worship, but can also be found in retreat centers, hospitals, colleges and private gardens all over the world. “They’re incredibly peaceful,” Tobias says. “When you first walk in, you realize that there is a beauty to this ancient structure.” To some labyrinth lovers, these spiral paths are a walking meditation that can lead to spiritual transformation; to others, they’re just restful, fun places to meander. Tobias went on a labyrinth quest across the state and catalogued these spiral spaces in her book, Circle the Center: Labyrinths in Florida. “I discovered a whole new sacred experiencein the Sunshine State—mindful walking on meandering yet purposeful paths all the way from the Panhandle to South Florida,” she wrote. Here are seven that she found in Sarasota.

There are quite a few labyrinths in Florida—over 100 to be exact—all of which are teaching people to slow down, take a breath, and meditate for a little while.These ancient pathwayshave been popping up more and more throughout the country, often used as a walking meditationfor ma
ny. And while some of these labyrinths are set up by local churches and religious groups, they are often open to the public to use freely and whenever the need hits.

Experience A Walking Meditation!
The power of walking the path of the labyrinth is in its simplicity. The labyrinth presents an orderly path to quiet the mind, and as the body moves into a peaceful rhythm of walking, one becomes more closely in tune with God. Step-by-step, one becomes more receptive to insight and illumination.
Walking the labyrinth is not something to learn or memorize, but something to experience. It is a walking meditation, a devotional act of worship, and a sacred celebration of life.
There is no right or wrong way to walk the labyrinth, just as there is no right or wrong way to pray. Walking the path is a personal experience, an opportunity for a “closer walk with God.”
Did You Know About The Labyrinth Tradition?
Labyrinths have an ancient history dating back at least 4000 years. Unity’s labyrinth is modeled after one laid into the floor of the cathedral at Chartres, France, in 1220. Over the centuries, Christian pilgrims and others have engaged in the prayer of the mind, body, and heart that the labyrinth offers. The mystical tradition of labyrinths has been revived in recent years, thanks particularly to the work of Dr. Lauren Artress, Episcopal priest and author of Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual tool. People around the world are once again walking the path and engaging in its powerful process of spiritual transformation.
The Design of the Unity Labyrinth Is Felt To Be Exquisite.
The design of the Unity labyrinth is a replica of the one found in France. It is one continuous path that winds into the center and back out again. A labyrinth is not a maze. There are no tricks or dead ends. One cannot get lost, and success is assured.
The Labyrinth is an archetypal symbol of wholeness that invites one into a transformative prayer experience. Walking this mystical path is a personal pilgrimage to spiritual wholeness.
Here Are A Few Suggestions for Walking the Labyrinth.
Leave your cares at the entrance.
Walk in silence.
Clear your mind and become aware of your breath.
Allow yourself to find the pace your body wants to go.
You may pass others or allow others to step around you, at the turns.
At the center you can stand or sit quietly for a time. Then follow the same path out from the center.
Walking the Labyrinth can be as a silent meditation, asking a question or seeking guidance.
Did You Know That There Are Three Known Stages Of The Walk?
First: Until you reach the center it is a shedding …a releasing …a letting go of the details of life. It quiets the mind.
Second: Is when you are in the center … it is Illumination …stay there as long as you like. It is a place of meditation and prayer. Receive what is there for you. Then slowly leave the center and return to the outer edge.
Third: Is the Union …joining with God. Your higher power or the forces at work in the world.
Each time you walk the Labyrinth you become more empowered to find and do the work you feel your soul is seeking.
Suggestions When You Walk the Labyrinth.
Stop, relax and breathe deeply at the entrance. Realize that walking the labyrinth is a sacred activity, not to be rushed or forced. You may wish to set an intention before you begin your walk.
Walk slowly, following the winding path toward the center. Release all busy thoughts, worries or concerns. if you meet a fellow traveler on the path, simply step aside and pass with reverence.
When you get to the center, pause for a few moments, and focus your attention on God. Remain in a receptive, meditative state to receive illumination, insight, clarity, and focus.
As you leave the center and return outward along the path, offer silent thanks and praise. This is time for you to be empowered, energized, and grounded.
Here at Unity of Sarasota, our labyrinth offers all another way to pray. It is located outdoors in the end of our parking lot outside of Fellowship Hall. It is open all year, weather permitting. Up lighting has been placed for your convenience.
Located behind the church in a grove of swaying oak trees, this outdoor labyrinth is created out of concrete pavers and multiple peace poles—most labyrinths only have one.Oak Trees are very sacred in Witchcraft and many other Pagan groups. This is MINDLESSness. An afront to GOD. God says IF WE MEDITATE to meditate on the WORD OF GOD. Meditate in this reference means to focus, to study, to become acquainted with GOD’s WORD and allow HIS HOLY SPIRIT to lead us to ALL TRUTH. Pagan meditation is designed to empty your mind, change your state of consciousness and open youup to DEMONIC SPIRITS. Those (peace poles) are placed at the four Elemental points/the four corners of the Earth. This is very powerful and symbolic. GOD said to the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, NORTH SOUTH, EAST AND WEST to give up!!
Isaiah 43: 1-18
1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee,O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Fear not: for I am with thee:I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.
13 Yea, before the day was I am he;and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creatorof Israel, your King.
16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

First Christian labyrinth
Origins of the Christian Labyrinth
The Christian labyrinth did not originate in Africa, but the earliest known Christian labyrinth was indeed found in a basilica in Algeria around 324 CE, making North Africa the site of the first documented Christian example The Labyrinth Society+2.
According to historical accounts, the first known Christian labyrinth was laid out in the St. Basilica of Reparatus in Algeria in the early 4th century CE (around 324 AD) The Labyrinth Society+2. This square pavement design featured the inscriptionSancta Eclesia (“Holy Church”) at its center, readable in multiple directions, symbolizing the Church’s constant presence for the faithful Unspoken Elements. Its purpose is debated — it may have been decorative, symbolic, or a meditative aid — but it is the earliest surviving example with a clear Christian context.
Spread and development
From this North African origin, Christian labyrinths spread through the Roman worldand later into Europe.By the 12th century, they appeared in Italian churches, and by the 13th century, walkable pavement labyrinths became common in northern France, notably at Chartres Cathedral The Labyrinth Society+1. These were often used as a substitute for pilgrimage and as a meditative space for prayer. So, the labyrinth was introduced among christians by the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH which is not christian but a pagan roman cult. The pagan practice of “Pilgrimage” was also introduce to christians by the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
The labyrinth/maze represents a mystical path,removing the common understanding of linear timeand direction.As we travel through the labyrinth, we become increasingly lost in reference to the world outside and unexpectedly discover our true path in life.
The labyrinth, a symbol of intricate design and profound meaning, has captivated human imagination for millennia. Found in various cultures across the globe, from ancient civilizations to modern interpretations, the labyrinth represents a journey of transformation, a metaphorical path that intertwines myth, symbolism, and human experience. In this article, we delve into the origins, myths, and deep symbolism associated with the labyrinth, seeking to unravel its mysteries and understand its enduring significance.
Origins and Historical Context
The labyrinth’s originscan be traced back to antiquity, with evidence of labyrinthine patterns found in diverse cultures including ancient Greece, Egypt, India, and Mesoamerica.
The theme of the labyrinthleading to one’s destiny is most clearly illustrated in one of the best-known stories from Greek mythology: Theseus and the Minotaur. This is a lie, out of paganism, the labyrinth will lead you to HELL. It is about the worship of BAAL – the beast – the bull.
The word Labyrinth comes from the Greek labyrinthosand describes any maze-like structure. A labyrinth is a single-path, non-branching route leading to the center and back out, making it easier to navigate.
Amazeis a complex branching puzzle with multiple paths and directions. Even so, the terms labyrinth and maze are often used interchangeably.
The term “labyrinth” has come to denote any unicursal maze, regardless of shape. Socrates described a labyrinthine argument as one where the path seems to loop back to the start, reflecting the idea of a complex but navigable route.
Although early Cretan coins sometimes feature multicursal patterns, the unicursal seven-course “Classical” design became associated with the Labyrinth on coins as early as 430 BC.
This design was widely used to symbolize the Labyrinth, even though historical and literary accounts suggest the Minotaur was confined in a complex branching maze. Despite increasingly elaborate designs, visual representations of the Labyrinth from Roman times through the Renaissance are predominantly unicursal. Branching mazes were reintroduced with the rise in popularity of garden mazes during the Renaissance.
The labyrinth/maze, then, may have served to help one find their mystical pathby purposefully removing one from the common understanding of linear time and direction between two points. The pagan view of time as circular is in oppostition to the reality that time is linear and has a beginning and an end. They want you to believe time is circular to make it easier for you to believe in reincarnation. As one traveled through the labyrinth, one would become increasingly lostin reference to the world outside and, possibly, would unexpectedly discover one’s true path in life. Not the way life works. You have to use your mind and focus on
Labyrinths have appeared in various forms, such as designs on pottery and basketry, body art, and engravings on cave or church walls. The Romans created many decorative labyrinths in tile or mosaic, often large enough to be walked. Historically, labyrinths have been used for both group rituals and personal meditation.
Ancient Labyrinths
Pliny the Elder’s Natural History mentions four ancient labyrinths: the Cretan Labyrinth, an Egyptian Labyrinth, a Labyrinth on Lemnos, and an Italian Labyrinth.
The etymology of the word is linked to the Minoan labrys,“double axe”, the symbol of the Minoan mother goddess of Creteand royal authority, although the actual word is Lydian in origin, and most likely came to Crete from Anatolia through trade.
Labrys (History & Meaning of Symbols)
The labrys, a double-headed axe, carries a rich history and profound symbolism. This ancient icon traces its origins back to Minoan civilizationon the island of Crete. Its design not only represented power but was also closely linked to Minoan religion,where it symbolized the Mother Goddess and the authority of women.
Used in rituals and as a symbol of governance, the labrys holds a significant place in Greek mythology and beyond. Its name is derived from a Lydian word meaning “axe” and is believed to be the root of the word “labyrinth,” which hints at the legendary Palace of Knossos. This association with the labyrinth suggests a deep cultural and spiritual significance, encompassing both protection and mystery.
Over time, the labrys has been embraced by various cultures and movements, symbolizing strength and resilience. From its ancient roots, it continues to intrigue with its blend of historical and mystical meanings. Readers intrigued by the intertwining of history, mythology, and symbolism will find the labrys a fascinating subject to explore further.
Origins of Labrys
The labrys, a double-headed axe, holds a deep history that stretches back to prehistoric societies before becoming a sacred and culturally significant symbol during the Bronze Age. It played a crucial role in both religious and social contexts across different ancient cultures.
This connection supports the theory that the labyrinth originally referred to the Minoan royal palace in Crete, translating to “palace of the double-axe.” The term “-inthos” may mean “place,” as seen in names like Corinth. Symbols associated with the double-axe were found in the Minoan palace, often linked with female deities. In classical Greece, priests at Delphi were known as Labryades, or “men of the double axe.”
Greek mythology does not mention a specific deity presiding over the Labyrinth, although the goddessDespoine from Arcadian cults might have been associated with labyrinthine themes.
This figure might have been linked to a cult that influenced later Eleusinian mysteries.
The labyrinth of Knossos – Cretan Labyrinth
Knossos, in Crete, has long been suspected to be the site of the most famous labyrinth in history.
Researchers discovered bull motifs and depictions of a labrys, suggesting connections to the labyrinth. This association with the Minotaur myth has become a popular legend.
It’s the story of Theseus and the Minotaur. This labyrinth was designed by Daedalus for King Minos of Knossos on Crete to contain the ferocious half-man/half-bull known as the Minotaur, born from Queen Pasiphae’s cursed union with a bull.
It was an elaborate structure with winding passages and dead ends intended to confuse and trap the beast. Daedalus engineered the labyrinth so intricately that he himself had difficulty escaping after its completion.
Every year, seven young men & maidens were sent from Athens to Crete and then released into the labyrinth to be eaten by the Minotauras a tribute. Do you really want to receive peace, healing or guidance from a place of sacrifice to a demon?
According to the myth, Theseus, prince of Athens, ventured into the labyrinth with the aid of Ariadne, daughter of King Minos, who provided him with a ball of thread (the “Ariadne’s thread”) to navigate the maze.
Theseus successfully slew the Minotaur and found his way out using the thread, thus freeing Athens from the annual offering.
The Labyrinth of Egypt at Hawara
In Egypt, labyrinthine structures were associated with the complex and cyclical journey of the sun god Raduring the night, symbolizing death and rebirth.
One labyrinth stood near the foot of the Pyramid of Amenemhat the IIIat Hawara. It may have been a collection of funerary temples such as the ones that are commonly found near Egyptian pyramids.
The first major historian to discuss the labyrinth was the Greek author Herodotus, who, in his Histories, wrote that the structure surpassed the greatness of even the Egyptian Pyramids:
“The Egyptians made a labyrinth which surpasses even the pyramids. We learned through conversation with the Egyptian caretakers about the labyrinth’s underground chambers; they would by no means show them, as they were, they said, the burial vaults of the kings who first built this labyrinth, and of the sacred crocodiles…”
Diodorus Siculus also furthered the claim that the Egyptian labyrinth inspired Daedalus to build the Cretan labyrinth for King Minos.
Pliny the Elder , a Roman author and naturalist, described the structure in his Naturalis Historia, writing:
“There is still in Egypt a labyrinth which was the first constructed, 3,600 years ago. Many assert that it was a building consecrated to the Sun,an opinion which mostly prevails”
It is believed that the labyrinth at Hawara mirrored the afterlife. There were 42 halls throughout the structure which correspond to the Forty-Two Judges who preside over the fate of one’s soul, along with the gods Osiris, Thoth, Anubis, and Ma’at, at the final judgment in the Hall of Truth.
The labyrinth, then, could have been constructed to lead one through a confusing maze – much like the landscape of the afterlife described in the Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead– to lead one toward an enlightened state. Do you believe that enlightenment and your ultimate path can come to you from the DEAD OR THE PLACE OF DEATH?
Following the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the ruins of the labyrinth were quarried for stone and after most of the stones had been carted away, the location of the structure was gradually forgotten.
So great was the site as a source of building materials that a small town grew up around the ruins, by the oasis of Faiyum.
There have been many other labyrinths around the world since ancient times from the structure built in Italy as part of the tomb of an Etruscan king, to those of an island in modern-day Russia.
Labyrinths were once part of the mortuary rituals of Britain, Ireland, and Scotland. They constantly reappear in different forms at different stages in the evolution of Celtic culture and some of them are earlier than the Minoan labyrinths. Again, associated with death. The Ancient Celts were very dark and violent pagans.
The labyrinth as an idea is closely related to the knot (the knot is a sacred symbol to: the line that winds all around a design. The difference is that, in a knotwork design, the line has no beginning and no end while, in a labyrinth, there is usually a starting point and a goal.
The triquetra — also called the Celtic Trinity Knot — sacred symbol of the British Isles. It is an ancient Celtic design with roots in the broader Insular tradition found in cultural and religious contexts.

Both symbolize journeys. This might be a particular adventure or the overall unfolding of life itself. Labyrinths therefore form a visual counterpart to the epic folk-tale which often consists of a long and convoluted journey with episodes that repeat and double back on themselves.
A journey to the center of the self and out again and, in this way, the ancient symbol emerges as a tool for self-exploration and healing.
The Indian mandalais a geometric configuration of symbols and may reflect the labyrinth’s intricate paths, symbolizing the wholeness and unity of the universe.
It can be used to establish a sacred spaceand as an aid to meditation and trance induction. When has anyone seen Christ or the disciples teaching people to meditate with the goal of altered consciousness or trance? Or worse yet ecstatic state?
A mandala called yantra takes the form of a square with four gatescontaining a circle with a center point.
A mandala can also represent the entire universe, which is traditionally depicted with Mount Meru as the axis mundi in the center, surrounded by the continents.
Mandalas often have radial balance, meaning they look the same after some rotation by a partial turn.
In the Rigveda, the various books progress along the same lines as a labyrinth, where one travels a mystical path alone to eventually merge one’s inner journey with the outer world.
In medieval Christian culture, labyrinths were integrated into the floors of cathedrals such as Chartres in France, serving as a metaphorical pilgrimage for believers. It was built between 1215 and 1221, ( The Crusades spanned roughly from 1095 to 1291) making it the largest church labyrinth ever constructed during the Middle Ages.
The labyrinth also embodies a multitude of symbolic meanings that resonate deeply with the human experience:
Journey and Transformation: At its core, the labyrinth represents a journey of self-discovery and transformation. The act of navigating its twists and turns mirrors life’s complexities, challenges, and the search for meaning. Each step taken within the labyrinth symbolizes progress, introspection, and personal growth.
Unity of Paths: Unlike a maze, which is designed to confuse and challenge, the labyrinth has a single, non-branching path that leads to the center and back out again. This symbolizes the unity of all paths and the interconnectednessof life’s journey. All paths except for the WORD OF GOD. No Christian or Hebrew can be united with all other paths/faiths. Not with any other.
It teachesthat despite different routes and experiences, there is a destination and purpose. For all pagans the only destination is damnation! For bible believers the destination and purpose is reunion with GOD.
Cycles of Life: The labyrinth’s circular or spiral design mirrors the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. (This is all pagan teachings) It represents the eternal journey of birth, growth, death and renewal found in nature, seasons, and the cosmos. In this way, the labyrinth becomes a symbol of continuity and the eternal rhythm of existence.
Mystical Pilgrimage: Many cultures incorporate labyrinths into personal practices as a form of meditation and pilgrimage. Walking the labyrinth path becomes a metaphorical journey towards enlightenment, wisdom and divine union. The process encourages mindfulness, reflection and communion with the sacred. All pagan teachings. The Word of God says if any lack wisdom they should call on God who who gives generously and without reproach, and it will be given to them.
Psychological Exploration: The labyrinth can be seen as the representation of the mind and the process of integrating one’s conscious and unconscious aspects to achieve psychological wholeness. The only way for humans to become whole is receive the gift of salvation/redemption provided by the Creator in His son Jesus Christ/Yahushua HaMaschiah.
Therapeutic Practices: Labyrinths are increasingly used in therapeutic settingsas tools for stress reduction, meditation, and reflection. Walking the labyrinth path fosters mindfulness, relaxation, and emotional healing, providing individuals with a tangible way to explore their inner landscapes.
Personal Change: The labyrinth in the Greek myth serves as the vehicle for Theseus’ transformation from a youth to a king. He must enter a maze no one knows how to navigate, slay a monster, and return to the world he knows. The labyrinth presented him with the opportunity to change and grow but, like many people, Theseus resisted that opportunity until change was forced upon him.
Occult Significance: Prehistoric labyrinths likely served as traps for evil spirits (ya to catch human souls) or paths for ritual dances. In medieval times, the labyrinth symbolized a mystical journey with a defined center (representing God whose god? which god? god of what? Not YHVH the Creator of Heaven and Earth)and a single entrance (symbolizing birth). So, life with no end, no completion. Trapped in the circle. Recycling over and over.
The labyrinth, with its rich tapestry of myths and profound symbolism, continues to captivate and inspire humanity. Held captive with a spirit living in you.
Its enduring presence across cultures underscores its universal appeal and relevance, offering us a timeless symbol to navigate the complexities of existence and discover deeper truths within ourselves and the world around us.
In unraveling the myths and symbolism of the labyrinth, we unravel not just a physical maze but a symbolic journey that speaks to the essence of what it means to be human—a journey of discovery, transformation, and the eternal quest for meaning. HOGWASH
